    Some of the names you are using don't seem to exist in your sheet, so using cell references you should be able to use this "array formula"

    =INDEX(C16:H33,MATCH(1,(A16:A33=LEFT(A7,5))*(B7=B16:B33),0),MATCH(C7,C15:H15,0))

    confirmed with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER

    ....but note that in your example the first 5 characters of A7 are AB 32 and that doesn't match any entry in A16:A33

    daddylonglegs - Thank you so much. You are the best!

    I had to use bogus data so I did have some errors in my example data - thanks for pointing that out.
